1. Answer: to answer questions about the natural world
The aim of scientific method is to answer a question that the scientist have. To answer the question, the scientist need to design a research or observation. If the research is flawed, the result might not match with the scientist aim and the conclusion will be wrong. Scientific method can be used to help design the research so it will have less flaw

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. These cells are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.
Answer:
An Oc mutation on the bacterial chromosome can affect the expression of structural genes on a F plasmid.
Explanation:
An Oc mutation is a mutation in which operator of an operon is constitutively active i.e. repressor fails to bind the operator which leads to unregulated gene expression.
An Oc mutation do not affect the expression of structural genes on F plasmid because <u>an operator is a cis regulatory element and therefore it can only affect the genes which are located on the same DNA</u>. F plasmid genes are located on the plasmid not on the main chromosome of the prokaryotes while tryptophan or lac operon system is in the main chromosome that is why an Oc mutation will not impact genes on plasmid.
